EBOOK SPOTLIGHT: One for the Road by Kate Hawthorne
Max
I left St. Jack’s Bay ten years ago and haven’t looked back. Unless you count all the times I close my eyes and think about Rome kissing me on the water tower or all of the firsts we shared in my cramped teenage bedroom. Being in love with Rome was serious and scary, so I did the only thing I knew how to do—I ran.
Rome
Max is back now and taking him to bed was a terrible idea because it’s not long before I don’t hate him at all. I love Max and want him to be mine, but we’ve been here before. I know it’s only a matter of time before he breaks my heart and heads back on the road, leaving me—and our future—behind again.
One for the Road is a small town, second chance romance that proves sometimes absence does make the heart grow fonder.

A place where I can blend in enough that I become invisible.
